Chapter 36: The Stench
"Survivors, you say?" Chen Zaihai, who was walking in the front, suddenly covered his nose. "Then I advise you not to get your hopes up too much"
Walking in the second, I smelled an indescribable stench almost at the same time. As if something was deeply rotten and stinking, I quickly covered my nose and breathed only through my mouth. Even so, the smell still can't be completely eliminated. Talia at the back was also killed, and she fell off the iron ladder in a daze of stench.
I heard a very loud falling water below, and it seemed that Talia would not be able to do it for a short time
"What the hell does this smell like?" I had no choice but to climb down and work with Chen Zaihai to find a way to get Talia up. She looked like she was choking on smoke, and she was still coughing.
"It's not going to be really tasty anyway." Chen Zaihai pulled Talia up with a hard effort. "If the task force does end up here, we'll have to be prepared."
"You don't have to worry about me, you've already planned for the worst." Talia said as she resisted the urge to retch. Now she is holding the ground with her hands and breathing heavily through her mouth, looking very embarrassed. "This is supposed to be the power distribution station of the coal mining plant, don't run around, search here first. I'll be fine with a break. ”
Talia is a woman who will never show weakness easily, and the fact that she can say that shows that this place is indeed very bad. Chen Zaihai and I are okay, after all, we are men, and this level of taste is not much stronger than the smell of stinky feet, and we have a certain immunity. But Talia, who loves cleanliness herself, is in trouble, and you can imagine how miserable she is now.
So we wrung out her clothes and went out to find the source of the smell. It's very strong and presence, but strangely directionality is almost non-existent, and the smell seems to be very evenly distributed in the surrounding space. Chen Zaihai and I searched all the corners of the room and couldn't find the source of the smell.
We're stupid all at once, what's going on? It seems that there is really nothing else here except power distribution equipment, so where does this smell come from? Floating in from outside? There is only one entrance to this power distribution station, and it is also located on the roof, and if the smell is really wafting in from the outside, we need to think about whether it is the right choice to just go out
I don't feel like I've just crawled out and been smoked to death. After the search was fruitless, we had to go to Talia by the iron ladder, she looked a little better now, but still a little pale, and she looked very distressing.
"Are you okay with Talia?" After reporting that everything was normal around him, Chen Zaihai looked at Talia with some concern and said. "Why don't we stop here? There's something wrong with your body. ”
Talia stubbornly shook her head and said she was fine. Then she wanted to stand up, and her staggering appearance looked like she would faint at any time, and Chen Zaihai immediately supported her. I looked at it and felt that something was wrong, and Talia didn't act like she was stunned all of a sudden, which was definitely much more serious.
I immediately shone the miner's lamp at Talya, her face was a little pale, her lips were trembling, and I touched her forehead, but there was no fever. It shouldn't be any disease, her body is very normal along the way, it stands to reason that it is impossible to become like this after watering twice, and she is not Wang Weiguo. So is it really the relationship of the smell that permeates the neighborhood? I'm really a head two big.
"What about Lao Su? There's no way she's going to go with her anymore. Chen Zaihai looked at me inquiringly. Why don't we carry him back first, and then find a way to come back ourselves? ”
"No! You said you don't have to worry about me, now that you go back, your father will never give you a second chance. Talia said weakly. Keep walking, it's the order! ”
This guy is really as stubborn as a cow, and at this time he even took out the officer class to press us. How can we continue to walk with you like this, do we have those engineers?
Just when I wanted to tell Chen Zaihai to move Talia out first, the mutation began to happen. At first, I just wanted to help Chen Zaihai, and the two of us carried Talia back to the passage along the iron ladder.
But I suddenly noticed that my hands and feet seemed to be a little disobedient, although not completely stiff, but I could feel noticeably sluggish. A casual action now requires a lot of concentration to complete. And it seems to be getting worse and worse, and I won't be able to move at all for a while.
To make matters worse, I found that my consciousness gradually became unfocused, which made it harder for me to move my hands and feet. The light of the miner's lamp in front of him also seemed to be flickering and flickering, and Chen Zaihai's voice sounded like a thick cloth, very impermeable, as if it came from the other side of the wall.
I reacted almost instantly, I had this experience before, right in front of that black lighthouse! The symptoms were the same then as they are now. It was because of that strange white fog back then, but what's going on now? The impact of this discovery suddenly made me sober up a lot, and the things in front of me became much clearer.
Chen Zaihai was looking at me with a puzzled expression as he said something, and it seemed that he had not been affected by anything. Judging from the transparency of the miner's lamp, there is no such strange white fog here, so what is going on? Could it be this smell? Is it actually similar in composition to that white mist?
The more I think about it, the more likely it is, Talia just smelled this stench to become so weak, and I didn't become like this after a while, although Chen Zaihai didn't seem to have any problems for the time being, but no one dared to guarantee it after a long time. This place really can't stay any longer!
As soon as I thought of this, I immediately drove my body hard, trying to pull Chen Zaihai and Talia back into the passage.
"Old Su? Why? Pull me suddenly? "Chen Zaihai was confused by my behavior." "What's wrong? Why do you look so bad!
"Don't talk nonsense, it's poisonous! The stench is poisonous! I almost used all my strength to say this, and the stiffness of my whole body returned. In my previous experience, it didn't take long for me to be completely unconscious.
When he saw that my expression didn't look like a joke, he became serious. As soon as I picked up the unsteady Talia and climbed back down the iron ladder, I forced myself to cheer up when I saw it, and I tried to climb back with him.
But as soon as I arrived, I was overwhelmed, and as soon as the power in my hand was delivered, I fell down the ladder. If it hadn't been for Chen Zaihai, who had gone down in advance, to pick me up below, I would have fallen headfirst to my death. But even he couldn't completely unload my falling force because of his hurry, and the two of them fell into the water of the tunnel together.
First of all, my head was cold, and then I choked on two large mouthfuls of water, which made me all the time. My lungs felt as uncomfortable as they exploded, and I subconsciously began to dig my hands and feet, and I actually made myself do it. I shook my head vigorously, wiped the water from my face with my hands, and looked around in confusion.
Talia sat against the circular wall not far away, and Chen Zaihai gasped next to me, looking very embarrassed. I realized that if he hadn't pulled me just now, I wouldn't have sat up so easily.
"Lao Su explain, what is poisonous?" He asked, looking at me inexplicably.
At this time, I suddenly found that my body had become much easier, the movement of my limbs was not so difficult, and my consciousness had returned to normal. The symptoms that resembled poisoning just now were all gone. That's right! It's this water in the channel! Eighty percent of the substances in this water neutralize those poisonous gases, so that I can return to normal. I immediately briefly explained to Chen Zaihai what I had thought of and what I had just discovered.
"So when you found the lighthouse, you really ran into the white mist?" He said he still couldn't believe it.
Do I need to lie to you? I don't care if you and Talia saw it when we arrived, I was fainted by the white mist. It felt exactly the same as it did back then! If you're still in that place, you'll become like us sooner or later.
"After you said this, I did feel a little inconvenient just now, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch you." He said as he moved his hands and feet again. "Not to mention that I feel better now, is it really the effect of these waters? Then I'll have to put on a little bit and go back and sell it at a high price, this thing is too smart. ”
I said when was it and you were still kidding. Let's go and see how Talia is doing. She was the first to be affected, and who knows if the water would cure her completely.
"I've been saying leave me alone." A voice rang out next to him. "Just take care of yourselves."
Chen and I looked in the direction of the sound on the seahorse, and it was Talya. She was standing next to us right now, soaking wet, her clothes clinging to her body and showing her perfect shape.
"I heard you very clearly, I didn't expect the water here to work so well." Completely unaware of the fact that we had been staring at our bodies, she continued to talk to herself. "With this thing, we can move on."
I really didn't expect that she hadn't given up yet, a few minutes ago she was still looking sick, but she didn't expect that she was full of vitality now, what Chen Zaihai said seemed to really make sense. It seems that you should really bring back a little bit of the notice of water quality analysis in the bureau to see what ingredients are in it.
